Episode 979: Where Was Saw Gerrera in the Deleted Rogue One Scenes?

Remember when a bald Saw Gerrera gives his monologue about “What will you do if they catch you? What will you do if they break you? If you continue to fight, what will you become?” During that scene, we see him on or near what looks like a chair from a spaceship – like one of the Falcon‘s cockpit seats, for example.

Well, as we all know now, that scene never made it into the movie. But the Rogue One Ultimate Visual Guide reveals where that scene must have taken place. It was inside Saw’s headquarters on Jedha, the Catacombs of Cadera, and that was where he was getting treated for his issues related to Geonosian insecticide poisoning.

That, as well as details about the downed X-wing in the streets of the Holy City, a surprising familial connection, parallels between Saw and Cassian as well as Saw and Cham Syndulla, and a glaring omission from the Guide are the topics of conversation in today’s podcast!
